Awaiting
Bismillah Arrahman Arraheem
Imām Jaʿfar ibn Muhammad al-Sādiq (A.S.) said:
to Abu Baseer:
“Shall I not tell you that which Allāh (s.w.t.) does not accept deed from the people except with it? The narrator said, “Yes, please do.” He (a.s.) said: “Witnessing that there is no god but Allāh and Muhammad is the messenger of Allāh, submitting to the orders of Allāh (s.w.t.), believing in the guardianship of the infallible imams, submitting to them especially, and disavowing their enemies, piety, sincerity of faith and waiting for al-Qaim (a.s.). There will be a state for us, Ahle Bayt. Allāh (s.w.t.) achieves that when He wills. Whoever likes to be one of al- Qaim’s companions has to wait while being pious and acting morally. If that one dies before the advent of al-Qaim (a.s.), he will be rewarded as if he has accompanied al-Qaim (a.s.). Try your best (in being pious) and wait. How lucky you are, O you the mercified group!”.
